sestina || Shane Allison


Anal Virgin

Taking a shit
Bleeding from the ass
It’s all your fault, Kenny
I’ve got an itchy asshole because of you
Hell bent on fucking me, no matter the cost
Michael thinks it’s healing

But I don’t think it’s healing
‘Cuz it hurts when I take a shit
Guess I’m paying the cost
Of some guy I only met an hour ago trying to fuck me in the ass
Blood in my stool reminds me of you
Get your finger out of me, Kenny

Before I kill you Kenny
I don’t want to see you; I’m too busy healing
Right now and I can’t stand the sight of you
‘Cuz it hurts too much to shit
I should have kicked your ass
How much does patience cost

Do you know how much it’s going to cost
To see a doctor if this gets serious, Kenny
I mean, I don’t want no doctor prying in my ass,
Applying scentless cream for the healing
Telling me to put it on after I take a shit
 I’m going to send the bill to you,

God damn you!
I should make you pay the cost
For all this cream and shit
I told you to take it easy, Kenny 
He said it would take 6to8 weeks to heal
Hurts real bad to sit on my ass

Friends say I should start slow with a dildo up my ass
And forget about guys like you
Who want nothing but some Saturday night sexual healing,
Whose lives of the men they sleep with have no cost.
You said you would be gentle, Kenny
But that was just bullshit

I’ve decided to save my ass for someone special
I’m through with you, Kenny
I’ll find a lover no matter the cost becuz I can’t take this shit.
Right after I’m done healing

poetry || Erik Moshe

Setting Breakfast, Omnicron Seti

on break from studying the Suda...
we toast globefruits to independent countryism
it has the consistency of a tungsten crepe
or an irregular strawberry banana smoothie
Earthside, novelists put too much time into cooking
non de plume exo-odysseys (do it yourself, right?)
ice cream Sundaes scalded by a sugary stellar wind
acai soup bottled, tested in the Cheyennes
ensuring no leakages of mineral meat loaf minestrone

Gourmet style egg scramble eventually comprises
new whitewash Sistene system in a menstruating lineup
Blood red giants pass algae from a frying pan
to an asteroid belt completely stuffed with rural nectarines
diplomats nip at rosemary extract cakes while the
shadows of Thanatos the Light Destroyer
purrs over their shoulders
Gertrude Magnitude: retired astronaut
Beta carotine snuggles nicely into her bosom

Green pears in space, luxury? I mean, what else
is out there, formulating from strange vineyards so far
from our rough farmer's hands. Our flesh-mozzerella fingers
ousting crops from unphilanthropic ground soil
Perhaps they wear burkas of quinoa seeds
call one another Badr, bark at the notion of lightyears
keeping them away from their AM burritos
& star-studded coffee mix
 

Blue Corn Paradise

plastocyanin neck brace
gripped by antigravity
being wheeled through
paddy fields the color
of the pacific

the morning dew
gives off every substance
save flouride, as heat energy
emanates
glowing in the hearts
of every aquaphonic farm animal
krill feed on sustainment gels
mushrooms feast on
soiled Gorbachov organs
adherents to landscaping creeds
write aramaic into squid appendages
hoping to establish
communication with
any underwater colonies
capable of "shooting a convo"
with sucking spores & pincers off
in order to inspire
the organic results
of a good handshake in public

Sky news, sky liquor, sky cafe, sky soundtrack
choice of color blue psychotronic clean track record
[[[[[[[[[[[[ embodiment, water mosque emptied ]]]]]]]]]]]]
